Pronouncing #mC

[Michael Denner]

You can hear a professional диктор (the actor D. N. Zhuravlev) read the poem here:

I have to agree with Alina -- the диктор (in any case) manages to hit the -г- just fine, with no nasalizing, while also realizing fully the м- and -н-. Sitting here, trying to do it myself though proves pretty tough.

In the first line of Pushkin's familiar lyric, _Ia pomniu chudnoe 
mgnoven'e_, the realized accents are _pom_, _chud_, and _ven_.  
Possible disagreement over final consonants aside, could someone 
please tell me how the three unaccented syllables (if indeed it's just 
three) _-noe mgno-_ are pronounced in actual recitation?
